Ugg.  They will be broke for all kinds of devices (plug in PCIe devices
IP IP blocks).

Well, that's where the usual platform specific trick is, as the
platforms with high DRAM either have a mapping between physical
and DMA range (see the dma_ranges concept in the DMA and OF code)
or a mirror of the higher addresses.  Or very rarely (e.g. sparc)
a required IOMMU that is always used.
